I've recently discovered that Pokemon Sapphire has me as a bug maniac. As matter of fact I am fighting "Brandon The Bug Maniac" right now.

Where does you name pop up in video games, and who is the most memerobale character you;ve ever seen your name on.

There is a local pc argentinian game, "Yo Matías", a platform game with a kid who is called Matías like me :D

This is one of the weirdest coincidences (sp?) I've ever had. In the game Illusion of Gaia for the snes the main character has grandparents named Bill and Lola. My grandfather and grandmother have the same names, and they both passed away before I played the game. I have to admit I was a little spooked when I started the game and saw those names. :o

There's a whole lot of "Joe" in video games, let's just pick two good ones.

Most recent/coolest: Viewtiful Joe. Capcom's side-scrolling beat 'em up featuring cel-shaded/hand drawn graphics, excellent controls, and Matrix-like effects.

Most uncool: Glass Joe, the human punching bag from Nintendo's Punch-Out!! series. He was changed to "Gabby Jay" on the Super NES version of the game, and I'm downright merciless when I face him because of that. Where's your pride, Joe?

The only one i can think of offhand is Kevin from fatal fury: Mark of the wolves. There's probably more, but I don't know em.

My fave Joe game is Natsume's Car Battler Joe for the GBA, because of both its car-fragging gameplay and its awesome title.

I've seen "Zack" appear in a few games, but don't recall "Zach" in anything but The Ignition Factor, and that's because my friend localized the game text. Heh.
